32 cameras simultaneously.

number of e-mails sent. Get email notification when a IP camera is
offline or when a Webcam is disconnected.

Enhanced real-time notifications: Be informed when there
is a network connection problem, when disk space is running low, a camera
connection is lost, and more.

optionally have Security Monitor Pro maximized on your screen. Also, camera
window borders can be highlighted in red to quickly see which camera has a
motion detected.

without interrupting monitoring.

either 12-hour or 24-hour format. Dates can be displayed in a wide

can now be changed.

Version 2.3

Monitor and Record Up to Eight IP Cameras: The maximum number of
installed IP (network) cameras has been increased from 6 to 8.

correctly when connected for long durations. Security Monitor Pro will
now automatically refresh connections to these cameras on a schedule, allowing
long-term unattended operation.

start or stop recording from all installed cameras.

Version 2.2

Broadcast Multiple Video/Audio Feeds: Now broadcast from all
installed cameras, or any set of cameras, simultaneously.

automatically at a user-controlled rate, letting you monitor all the cameras
without constantly having to switch cameras manually.

Video Buffering: Security Monitor Pro now keeps a 1-minute
recording from each camera "ready" at all times. When an Alert is
triggered, it is now possible to start the video recording before the event,
ensuring that a complete record of the incident exists.

Version 1.4

Automatic Configuration for Continuously Recording from a Selected
Camera: The Auto Configuration wizard now has an action for continuous
recording. All the settings required for continuous recording can be
easily setup using this wizard.

Ensure Existence of the FTP folder: The Test Connection option for
Upload Settings checks whether the FTP
folder to which you wish to upload exists or not. You can run this check
to ensure that everything gets uploaded to the correct folder.

Version 1.3

Masking an Area: You can exclude an area where regular motion is
expected from being monitored. With the Mask feature, motion in selected parts
(such as a window with a flowing curtain) can be ignored. This reduces
unwanted triggering of alerts.

Version 1.2

Advanced Scheduling for Every Device: Security Monitor Pro provides
options to individually schedule monitoring for devices at intervals like
Once, Daily, Weekly and At Application Startup. Advanced settings for
each of these can be configured allowing monitoring to automatically start and
stop at specified time.

Live Broadcasting Options: The broadcasting options provided by
Security Monitor Pro allow you to select a camera that you want to
automatically begin broadcasting with as soon as the application is started.

Version 1.1

Multiple Camera Support: You will find Security Monitor
Pro prefect for your complex monitoring requirements. No matter how
large the area being monitored, you can set up a foolproof surveillance system
thanks to the multiple camera support. You can simultaneously preview,
record, monitor, broadcast and upload using several locally attached cameras
or network IP cameras.

Manual Recording: Any Preview window can be recorded using the
Record button. These recordings can be played back for future reference.

Individual Alerts: Alerts can be configured separately
for each monitoring device. This means better security as alerts are run
if there is a slightest activity in any part of the area being
monitored. (For each camera, it is possible to select different
triggering conditions and a different response.)

User-friendly Layout: Managing and previewing devices
becomes very easy with the efficient user interface. Quickly accessible
monitoring and preview controls for all devices, the thumbnail view bar for
instantly seeing the entire area being monitored by several devices put
together, and scroll-to feature for locating specific device preview windows
make surveillance relatively hassle-free.
